EDMONTON, Alta. – A Saskatoon man has been identified as the victim in a west Edmonton homicide earlier this week, and a 21-year-old Edmonton man is now facing a charge of second-degree murder.
Emanuelle Moraga, 33, was found dead inside a vehicle in the area of 56 Avenue and 199 Street shortly after midnight on April 29. Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officers from the West Branch responded to reports of a disturbance at approximately 12:15 a.m., where they discovered Moraga deceased at the scene.
The circumstances surrounding the death were deemed suspicious, and two males were taken into custody the same day. Police indicated they were not seeking additional suspects at the time.
On May 1, the Edmonton Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Moraga died from multiple gunshot wounds. His death was ruled a homicide.
Following an investigation by the EPS Homicide Section, Tolga Boyaci, 21, has been charged with second-degree murder. The second male taken into custody has since been released without charges.
Police have not released details on the events leading up to the shooting, and the investigation remains ongoing.
